Hello @Rick Davis

I just listened to Dale's podcast, it was amazing. I had to stop working and take down some notes! I'd love to follow this feed to learn about this avenue. I'm very new to investing, and I'd like to pick up as much as I can. The more options the better.

Great job @Iman Yu!!

I'm in the planning phase of how I want make my first purchase. This was wonderful to come across. I hope to share some details of my journey soon. Good job getting things done👍

Good Morning @Courtney Downtain

I can't say for sure what route you should take, but I do recommend reading How to Invest with Little or No Money Down.

Hello @Khloe Butler, Could you inbox me more details as well?

Thank you

@Leigh Ann Smith Thank you for the follow up. Sounds like you have a real plan for success! I wish you continued success! 

@Mel F. Did you end up going this route? I'd never heard of this until today, so I'm doing a little research for comparables. 

@Leigh Ann Smith Is your excel sheet similar in function to the calculator on here for analyzing? I'd like to do buy and holds, SFHs and MFs.

@Ricardo S. I am single with no kids. I really like my space, but maybe I'll take that into consideration. It's basically the same deal that would happen if I bought a SF and stayed for a yr. Thanks for a different view. 👍 I have to work on pros and cons.

@Liz Wilkins That sounds good, I hope you'll share your journey in the future. Good luck!

Good Evening 

I have an idea of of the strategies I'd like to use for investing, but my situation is a little complex. I'd like to house hack. My initial idea was to purchase a duplex, stay for the yr required for FHA loan, refinance, and repeat. Because I will be housing my mother I will not see cash flow. I have no problem covering the mortgage. Following my plan I'd move after a year. Tenant screening could ensure someone good becomes her new neighbor, but now I am thinking of another approach. I'm thinking, maybe I'll get a house that I can add value to, mom will stay there and I will leave a year later. Next I will house hack a duplex. That way my mom is in a set environment and I'll be the one moving.

Could this work out?

What would you do?
